The new issue of Idaho Magazine has a small feature I wrote about the Bear Creek Massacre.
The massacre took place on January 29, 1863, between the US Army and the Shoshone Indians on the Idaho border. The attack was led by Col. Patrick Connor against Shoshone Chief Bear Hunter. With hundreds dead (including at least 90 women and children) it was the worst massacre against Native Americans in our history.
